HBO Commentary trivia!!

Name the fight that you heard these lines:

1.
- Harold Lederman: "If Roy Jones loved me as much as I love him, we'd be married...."

2.

- Larry Merchant: "Just goes to show that there's no horse that can't be ridden and no rider that can't be thrown"

Answer these and then add more of your own. Let's see who remembers HBO commentary.

 

1. Glen Johnson-Roy Jones
2. Vernon Forrest-Shane Mosley 1, late round 10

 

Cool. I thought I'd start off with some easy ones to get the ball rolling. Add some more

 

Damn, I never heard the 1st one. I must've blocked out the broadcast, deleiting it from my DVR drive after one viewing and pretending it never happened. Good call on that.

 

Larry Merchant: "Mike Tyson was like a bull in an antique shop. And what he did, he took down the old grandfather clock."

Jim Lampley: "What an awesome show! What a great, great fight!"

Manny Steward: "This is just like I expected"

 

"This is the worst fight i have ever seen in my life"-Harold Ledderman

 

Gil Clancy: "Wanna ask again who's the best fighter in the world?"

 

Hopkins-Tito, around round nine.

:: all of them?

 

Merchant - Tyson-Holmes?

Not guessing the Steward one - you might as well ask the fight he DIDN'T say that.

 

Jones-Brannon

 

I was joking about Manny.

All the others were correct, except it was round 10 in Hopkins-Tito.

 

When did Lampley say this:

"Hamed said that if he were to lose, it's because it was written by Allah. The 12 rounds you've seen here, shows that Allah knows how to spell BARRERA, B-A-R-R-E-R-A!"

 

Barrera-Hamed fight, though you all but gave away the answer the way you quoted it. ::

Seems like that quote always comes up, and I always ask the same question - didn't he say "Allah knows how to spell GREATNESS..." I should hope Allah or any other God would already know how to spell Barrera.

 

Nah, Mitchell was on point with the quote.

Lampley actually spelled Barrera's name.

What a dramatic clown.

 

damn, that makes no sense. ah whatever.

nobody's yet to guess rjjp4pno1's quote...

 

Probably because everybody was asleep when he said it.

 

So it was a BAD fight.

That narrows it.

 

Yes it was a BAD fight.
Boxing After Dark that is.

 

Didn't Lederman say that earlier this year during Dirrell-Stevens?

:dunno:

 

We have a winner

 

damn, of all the fights, your old ass stayed awake long enough for THAT one?

 

It was so awful, I couldn't look away!

 

:laughing: Are you serious?

:laughing:

You mention Hamed AND Barrera in the quot eand then ask what fight it was? :laughing:

You're a madman!:: This is not the type of "trivia" I had in mind.

 

Jim Lampley "If you loose what will you do next?"

? "Jim..........Im gonna rob your house"

So who said it?

 

Probably an easy one, but...

Merchant: "10... 9... 8 ... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... WHAT A FIGHT!"

 

:: :laughing:

 

Morales-Barrera 1. He actually got to 2 at the end.

 

"Before the fight we asked him what is going to be his primary focus after the victory he promised and he said catching his wife doggystyle, you gotta love that doggstyle huh, roy?"-Jim Lampley

 

good call.

have no clue on the one you just posted ::

 

James Toney?
